What is Single Sign-on (SSO)?
Single sign-on, or SSO, allows a user to access multiple applications using a single set of credentials. This capability can be applied to both employees and customers to streamline their login experiences. Typically, employees sign on to multiple business applications to do their jobs, such as messaging and email accounts, HR functions, intranet sites, financial records, etc. With SSO, they can access all of the resources they need with one set of login credentials, eliminating the need to remember or enter a unique password for each account.
